[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dr. Po-Shen Loh, the former IMO coach for the USA Math team has written about this style of coaching, explicitly mentioning Indian teaching style.

It is just painful to see bright young students misguided by parents who dont know better. If any are interested, read up on what Dr. Po-Shen Loh has written.

Many go to Curie and then end up hiring tutors all through high school to keep up.

You do you.[/quote]

Do you have a link to Dr. Po saying this about "indian style teaching"

BTW, how many of the regeneron semifinalists this year do you think are curie alums?[/quote]

He wrote a blog post on how it is difficult for him to give advice for people from India because of the reasons I mention above.

As to regeneron semifinalists, I know how that works and who is helping/doing the work. 
I was a judge for several years.

Dr. Po-Shen Loh has high regard for Indian American students, who were part of the winning teams he coached.

That is not what I said.

He is talked about students in India. Many students in India reach out to him for practice and he is despairing of the teaching technique there. How he is unable to help them because they are used to practice using examples and speed/accuracy is emphasized.

I am Indian, Dr. Po-Shen Loh helped my child in so many ways. He is not talking about the Indian students in USA. He is talking about teaching methods in India which are exact same as Curie. How fundamentally flawed they were. No it not a commentary on Indian students, just the method we have in India. It does help with IIT and Dr. Po-Shen Loh mentions why that same practicing for IIT is so bad. I do not have that blog post handy. You should read it.
